Her gluten levels were higher after being off gluten for 2 years than before she was diagnosed. It's a crock, these naturopaths are charlatans grifting people out of a lot of money.

The basic test for Celiacs is a blood test. This is not super accurate, so it can be followed up with a biopsy. All of this is done by a doctor, not a naturopath.
Also, there is no such thing as a "gluten level". What these tests are looking for is your bodies reaction to gluten, not the amount of gluten in your system.
